Chapter 5
After grabbing his seat, Chen Mo started to observe the situation around him.
The audience had already been seated, around seven hundred people. Some of them were making conversation and others were playing on their phones.
7The telecommunication technology in this world was very advanced. A normal sim card would have mobile data upwards of hundreds of gigabytes. Furthermore, the amazing signal strength and coverage was more than enough to watch videos or live streams.
2Chen Mo had felt that this was a reason that mobile games hadn’t taken off. Most would be playing VR games when they reached home. Mobile games were usually played when people were bored. Moreover, there were movies, TV series, variety shows, live streams, news, and social media, so it was unlikely one would be playing mobile games to pass the time.
Entertainment in the parallel world was also very developed, meaning that video game alternatives were also quite abundant. Combined with the fact that mobile data cost barely any money, so movies were at anyone’s fingertips, and many opted to not play mobile games.
Firstly, there was the discussion round, and the audience would receive another vote after that. That meant the judges could influence the decisions of the audience. If the first two performers were neck and neck, and the judges praised one of them, obviously the results would be influenced.
Secondly, the judges had the ability to veto. If a unanimous decision was reached by the judges, failing the game, achieving first place would mean nothing.
This was probably due to the respect this world had towards video game designers. But in Chen Mo’s opinion, these rules were completely meaningless and incredibly stupid.
In the end, he was only a competitor. All he could do was suck it up.
At the same time, Chen Mo’s game introduction had appeared on the screen!
